yet another profundity. You should hold court in the town square. I'd assume its easy to align work/school/recreational locations when one is an enlightened philosopher such as yourself. But what should the individual do who cannot find employment or a good school for his/her kids in close proximity to each other?

Then choose to live with the decision.

Here is an analogy. Kind of abstract but I believe it fits.
California is in the midst of a drought. First thought is, do they need more water. They might need more water but if you look a little deeper, you would see that the way the state of California uses water as a whole could use some help. Farming practices, bottling water to ship to other states, and planting lush landscapes in a desert are not the best decisions for state of California and its water needs.
Similarly, Baton Rouge has a traffic problem. Could more roads help it, yes. But we also have a problem in that its citizens are under the impression that it makes since to drive half the width of the city daily to live life. I am not saying they should not live there life in whatever way they deem fit but whether you believe it or not Baton Rouges citizens own choices cause traffic problems with in the city just as the choice to give farmers X% of water rights in the state of California to grow macadamia nuts and other BS results in water shortages during a drought.
